Description

Hello,
first of all I want to thank the developers for their work, these tools are very helpful.

I have created this issue, because I have a question which might also be of interest for other users.

Reading the descriptions of the AboutCode projects on [www.aboutcode.org](http://www.aboutcode.org/), I got the impression that the workflow would be like this:
source -> ScanCode Toolkit -> AboutCode Manager -> AboutCode Toolkit -> attribution notice

Then I realized, that AboutCode Manager and Toolkit don't collaborate, as the Manager cannot generate ABOUT-files, only the components list as JSON.

Is this assumption correct?
If so, would you consider adding this feature?

Best regards,
Thorsten Harter
